Glen's tank

This is my 6x2x2 in-wall marine tank that has been setup since November 2006. There aren’t many corals in it at the moment as I have focused mainly on getting my fish stock the way I want it. As you can see, the aqua-scaping is designed so that it allows plenty of free swimming space for what I believe to be the highlight of any marine tank, the fish. The system has a remote DSB which I believe has been the contributing factor to the zero nitrate reading which was always a main goal of mine.

My future plans are mainly based around the addition of further SPS corals including varieties of acropora millipora and montipora.
